Explore diverse art historical eras and subjects, along with key theoretical perspectives, while considering the expanding scope of visual studies in our interconnected world. Art history intersects with numerous disciplines—you'll discover complementary courses across the Faculty of Arts to enhance your learning.
An Art History degree offers strong preparation for graduate-level work. As you advance through the curriculum, you'll master techniques for evaluating and contrasting visual artifacts from various cultures, synthesize findings from historical investigation and critical analysis, and formulate comprehensive arguments about art's societal influence.
Tailor your studies by blending art history with studio practice to sharpen your visual interpretation and research abilities. Classes foster dynamic exchange through faculty-guided dialogues, debates, and evaluations. Students can specialize in one of three tracks: European/American arts, Indigenous arts (Pre-Columbian and First Nations), or Asian arts (East and South).
